Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field related to the placement of ceramic sleeves, and specifically, it is a material placing device for ceramic sleeves. Background Art

[0002] For the high-temperature sintering of injection sleeves, a material placing operation is required, that is, placing the sleeves in the corresponding grooves of the bearing plate. For the material placing operation of the sleeves, the following technical requirements generally need to be met. Uniform distribution: When placing the materials, it is necessary to ensure that the zirconia ceramic sleeves are evenly distributed on the bearing plate to avoid local overheating or overcooling; Gap control: An appropriate gap needs to be maintained between the sleeves to ensure the uniform distribution of air flow and heat; Prevent adhesion: It is necessary to prevent the sleeves from adhering to each other at high temperatures during material placement.

[0003] Currently, in the industry, the method of placing materials for the high-temperature sintering of injection sleeves mainly uses manual material placement. However, the efficiency of manual material placement is low, the cost increases, and there are many uncontrollable factors in the manual material placement method. In order to achieve standardized and batch production and reduce costs, it is necessary to optimize and improve the material placement method. Summary of the Invention

[0025] In combination with the attached drawings and specific embodiments, the present invention will be further described. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by this application.

[0026] This embodiment provides a material placing device for ceramic sleeves. For the sleeve materials after injection molding, the materials are placed in the bearing plate with a V-shaped groove according to requirements and sequence for degumming and sintering of the products. Its main structure is referred to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown.

[0027] This device mainly includes a hopper 1, a conveyor belt 2, a feeding assembly, a vibration platform 8 and a V-shaped bearing plate 12 for firing.

[0028] Among them, the hopper 1 is used to hold the sleeves. Specifically, it is an inverted conical loading hopper with a size of (1000 - 1200) mm * 500 mm * 300 mm and a 90-degree angle, which is assembled and installed using a 5-mm-thick rubber nylon plate. Four discharge ports 3 with a size of 40 mm * 40 mm * 100 mm are opened on the front side of the bottom of the hopper, and a plugboard 2 is installed to control the quantity of the discharged materials. The sleeves placed in the hopper 1 flow out through the corresponding discharge ports 3.

[0029] A rotatable conveyor belt 2 is installed at the bottom of the hopper 1 for conveying the sleeves flowing out from the discharge port 3. The conveyor belt 2 is a barrel-shaped belt with a size of 1200 mm * Φ900 mm * 1 mm. Two rotatable rotating shafts are installed inside the belt to tighten the belt to form a plane. One of the shafts is controlled by the conveyor belt servo motor 5 to rotate the belt, thereby realizing the backward conveying of the sleeves.

[0030] There are 4 feeding ports 6 corresponding to the 4 discharge ports 3 at the end of the rotating belt. The feeding ports 6 cannot be vertical and need to be buffered for introduction, so a feeding plate 7 with a 60-degree angle is made for assistance. That is, a nylon plate with a slope of 60 degrees is made at the end of the belt, and 4 inverted eight-shaped feeding ports 6 with a size of 40 mm * 400 mm * 100 mm are installed at the positions corresponding to the discharge ports 3 to make the materials fall evenly, avoiding the generation of problems such as dark cracks and breakage of the products.

[0031] A vibration platform 8 is arranged below the end of the material guiding component. A detachable V-groove bearing plate 12 is arranged on the vibration platform 8, so that the sleeves can be automatically placed on the vibrating V-groove bearing plate 12. Specifically, the vibration platform 8 is provided with a guide rail structure, and a vibration servo motor 10 is installed behind the platform and cooperates with a cam transmission structure 9 and a return spring to control the vibration platform 8, so that the platform can move back and forth. Four positioning jigs 11 are installed on the vibration platform 8, and the V-groove bearing plate 12 to be arranged can be placed. Through the cam structure, the V-shaped bearing plate can move back and forth to form the vibration of the ceramic sleeve, so that the material can pass through the movement track and direction, and the material can enter the groove of the V-groove bearing plate 12 evenly and effectively in sequence. The whole semi-automatic device is assembled with nylon materials, which can avoid the appearance of spots and breakage of the product.

[0032] For the above device of this embodiment, taking the standard fiber ceramic sleeve product size: Φ3.2*Φ2.5*11.4 as an example, the specific principle is described as follows, and its process steps are as follows:

[0033] 1) Put the sleeve materials after injection molding, soaking and drying into the hopper 1 for holding materials according to the batch quantity on the process card. And fix the height of the plug board 2 according to the process requirements to ensure that the quantity of the flowing materials meets the requirements.

[0034] 2) Adjust the rotation speed of the belt according to the process requirements.

[0035] 3) Place the bearing plates with V-grooves into the four positioning jigs 11 on the vibration platform 8 respectively, and adjust the rotation frequency of the cam transmission structure 9 according to the process requirements.

[0036] 4) Input all the technical parameters required for the above device into the control program of the plc.

[0037] 5) Press the one-key start button, and the equipment starts. The conveyor belt 4 will evenly move forward the materials in the hopper 1 and convey them to the material guiding plate 7 of the materials, and then evenly fall into the bearing plate with a V-groove through the material guiding port 6;

[0038] After the quantity of the materials falling on the V-shaped bearing plate 12 reaches the set data, the feeding of the conveyor belt 4 will stop. The vibration platform 8 of the bearing plate moves back and forth by the drive of the cam, and the materials will enter the V-groove in sequence according to the moving direction, and the redundant materials will be automatically separated and can be placed into the hopper 1 for reuse.

[0039] 6) After the material arrangement is completed, the equipment stops automatically. Take out the V-groove bearing plate 12 with the arranged materials, and then place a new V-groove bearing plate 12 for material arrangement.

[0040] With the material placing device of the present invention, the number of personnel for material placing can be reduced, enabling one person to operate multiple machines, greatly reducing the labor cost without affecting the product quality, and the effect is remarkable.
